    Hi dvaccaro,
    Thanks for contacting the Microsoft fabric community forum.

    Role assignments may take some time to propagate. If the user was recently assigned the Owner role, please wait a bit and try again. you mentioned that there are two Azure subscriptions, ensure that there are no tenant-specific settings or restrictions that might be affecting the ability to assign the capacity administrator role.

    • In the Power BI Admin Portal, check if there are any specific settings or policies that could be preventing this change. Sometimes, organizational policies can impact role assignments.
    • If the UI is not providing clear error messages, I recommend using Azure CLI or PowerShell to assign the role. These tools can sometimes offer more detailed error messages, which may help diagnose the issue. 

    If this helps then please Accept it as a solution and dropping a "Kudos" so other members can find it more easily.
    Thanks.
